Seachem Dry Tanganyika Buffer 250g

Product details

Seachem Dry Tanganyika Buffer 250g (286) is a carbonate-salt blend formulated to help replicate the high-alkalinity, carbonated-water conditions associated with Tanganyika cichlids. Used as a buffering additive, it raises alkalinity and carbonate hardness while helping stabilize pH, making it a practical choice when you want to maintain a consistent target pH for suitable African cichlid setups. It’s typically used alongside other cichlid support products for an environment closer to Tanganyika-style water chemistry.

Features:

• Aids in maintaining a stable pH target of 9.0–9.4
• Designed to increase alkalinity and carbonate hardness for Tanganyika-style conditions
• Includes carbonate salts to improve buffer capacity (resists pH swings)
• Raises KH along with pH for an alkalinity-supporting effect
• Formulated to not affect GH, helping keep that parameter unchanged
• Created for cichlid aquaria, especially when aiming to emulate Tanganyikan water chemistry
